Set Contains:
The Peter Pan DVD's extras are broken up into pint-size morsels for kids to enjoy--and adults to click a lot on the remote. Vignettes on flying, casting, computer effects, characters, or simple behind-the-scenes footage are just some of various segments contained in five "worlds." Be sure to "Visit the Darling House" to find a deleted scene and an alternate ending (which has the original book's ending of Pan returning). "Board the Pirate Ship" to see Jason Isaacs's (Capt. Hook) cute "home movies" from the set and a cut pirate song. The longest segment (12 minutes) is a puffy promotional piece hosted by Sarah Ferguson that goes over everything lightly, including the history of the tale. Note: this film would be a perfect candidate to have both a pan-and-scan and widescreen presentation on the same disc. The widescreen 2.40:1 ratio is pretty extreme for those who don't like seeing black bars on their set, but the film is so gorgeous you'll miss a lot on the full-screen edition. --Doug Thomas

I only bring this up because J. M. Barrie's play, while addressing early adolescent angst, was actually intended for adult audiences who presumably would be prompted to retrospectively analyze the angst of their own dim past. Thanks to the toning down of Barrie's basic theme in the Disney and Mary Martin versions, "Peter Pan" became almost exclusively a children's story. Then along came Hogan's version, which fused the thematic emphasis of the original with the children's entertainment emphasis of the others.
Meaning that the film hits a home run with three very distinct target audiences. Once thing for sure is that this spectacular adaptation has almost universal appeal to preteen children, they will watch it countless times and you can't go wrong buying or renting it for that age group. And perceptive adolescents struggling with their own growing up process should relate to it. And finally, those adults (particularly males) who have consciously resisted the growing up process their entire lives should connect to this film like few others.
But if you don't belong to these three groups you will wonder what all the fuss is about. The answer is that this film uniquely focuses on the maturation process, which most girls embrace about sixth grade and most boys resist until 9th grade (and would resist even longer if girls were not luring them with the most obvious benefit of growing up). Some boys stubbornly hold out like Peter Pan, usually because they do not have a Wendy to pull them forward, and when they finally surrender and move forward into adulthood, they are aware that they are abandoning something precious and will look back with regret on the moment for the rest of their lives.
Now with that issue addressed this is "Peter Pan" and virtually everyone knows the story. It is a live action version superior to the stage version if only because it is unburdened by the play's odd cross-dressing tradition and the preschool Disney fusion of bad songs and lame slapstick humor. The production design should blow away all viewers, child and adult, with a dreamy Maxfield Parrish Victorian look and Barrie's treasure-map Neverland. The pacing is fast and Hogan shows a respectful grasp of how an imaginative child would visualize things while reading Barrie's story.
"Peter Pan" is really Wendy's story and there is no fault to find in Rachel Hurd-Wood's performance, which would be good enough to carry the film but fortunately is not required to do so. Wendy is second only to Wonderland's Alice as the bravest literary heroine of all time and Hogan nicely incorporates the many admirable qualities of her character into the story.
Jeremy Sumpter's Peter is far more obnoxious than appealing, but isn't that what you would expect from a boy who refuses to grow old.
Ludivine Sagnier's Tinkerbell provides comic relief to go with her homicidal tendencies; only adults want cute, children want pretend-nasty and this Tink is worthy of Barrie's original characterization. The "save Tink" audience chant is nicely incorporated into a full-cast montage.
Hook is played with a controlled zest by Jason Isaacs, not quite the self-parody of a Gary Oldham performance but his restraint is exactly what is needed.
Adults and children know that "Peter Pan" isn't so much suspension of disbelief as it is an exercise in self-knowing whimsy. You know that the mix of fairies, pirates, Indians and ticking crocodiles are devices designed to obscure the difficult facts of growing older. If you can't go with it then you surrendered something a long time ago that Peter is still stubbornly holding onto.
Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.
The subtext of the ambiguous "hidden kiss" that lurks in the corner of Wendy's full lips is sensuous and innocent as it should be. It is this element of budding sexuality depicted with tact that has no comparison in the innuendo-heavy bathroom humor typical of young teen oriented comedies that Hollywood produces ad nauseum. Wendy's attraction to Peter's seductive grin is a kind of first blush that is girlish and childish, but also exciting. Wendy's desire to follow Pan to the land of the lost boys where she will tell them stories of Cinderella and be a surrogate mother is playing at maturity but also flirtatious and filled with a curiosity of budding womanhood. It is an element rarely handled in film interpretations of children's genre, however, it was an unmistakable element always just below the surface in period 19th century literature. Films such as Hook and Disney's cartoonish version overlook the complex Victorian social elements that emerge.
All the young actors in this film are natural, enormously believable, and attractive. So believable are their adventures in Neverland against Hook and with Princess Tiger Lily and the Indians that we too are swept up joining the experience of fighting with swords and flying. This is heady fantasy and the director never permits the cast to become over the top. In the lush setting of Neverland, the visual sensation is rich as color is used to convey more than just the physical.
Superb performances from versatile veteran actors such as Lynn Redgrave, a biddy aunt are created from the film but feel true to the storyline. However, it is a great character actor Jason Isaac doing double duty portraying the nebbish clerk-father James Darling, and the dastardly, evil, snidely Capt. Hook who fills the screen with vileness and a touch of distilled red-eye poison. Isaac's tragic/comedic villainous character presentation of Hook has the right mix of
believable and fearsome elements. It is only in the overlooked, "An Awfully Big Adventure" does an actor's performance of Hook by brilliant Alan Rickman have the similar bravado, weight, and believable panache. Isaac should have been acknowledged for his excellent work in the difficult dual role.
The film conveys the transitory beauty of childhood on the brink of change with deft handling, scenic drama, and swashbuckling action that is complex as well as bittersweet. As Peter and Wendy dance in the moonlight, their awareness of growing emotional maturity, although seductive, remains an enemy of Peter. His adamant decision never to grow up, to love and experience feelings as an adult is filled with layers of meaning that may be lost on younger audience members. And, when Hook informs Wendy the elements she is attracted to in Peter are the "riddle of his being," he is also hinting at Freudian allusions to the father- daughter complex as well.
Wendy can not have feelings for the boy Peter as a lover, nor is she permitted to be attracted to the duo character of the father-enemy, James Darling/Capt. Hook. She is in limbo until imparting on Peter her hidden kiss, a gift that can only be given once in a young girl's life. Wendy's story is one of the inevitable. She must leave Neverland to be the woman, the storyteller, and the mother-wife. Ultimately, it is only in Neverland that faeries exist and childhood is forever. And, where a thimble is a precious and powerful thing.

No other film we have recorded has been enjoyed as much, and, as yet this is the only film we have 'sky+' in a year that we actually have bought the DVD of, which I think is testamony itself to the beauty of this film. It is very magical...
